02. Assess Financial Readiness
Evaluate current financial health, cash flow, and capital structure to determine the ability to support a deal.This may involve internal audits, valuation analysis, and preparing financial documentation for transparency.
03. Align M&A Criteria
Establish clear parameters such as industry focus, size, location, and cultural fit for potential deals.Having defined criteria streamlines the target identification process and improves strategic alignment.
04. Research Target Industry
Analyze market dynamics, competition, regulatory environment, and emerging trends within the target sector.This research helps to identify risks and growth opportunities that could impact the deal’s success.
05. Target List Building
Develop a focused list of high-potential acquisition targets or prospective buyers based on strategic fit.The list is often prioritized based on financial performance, market position, and synergy potential.
06. Target Outreach
Initiate confidential contact with selected targets to assess interest and explore potential deal scenarios.Initial communication is typically discreet and may involve intermediaries to protect confidentiality.

Begin meaningful conversations to evaluate strategic alignment, cultural compatibility, and mutual goals.This stage helps determine whether to proceed to more formal negotiations.
08. Letter of Intent (LOI)
Draft a non-binding agreement that outlines the basic terms, structure, and timeline of the potential deal.The LOI signals serious interest and sets the stage for due diligence.
09. Due Diligence
Conduct a comprehensive investigation into the target's financials, operations, legal matters, and risks.This step is critical to validating deal assumptions and avoiding post-transaction surprises.
10. Closing
Execute final agreements, obtain necessary approvals, and complete the legal and financial components of the deal.This includes signing of contracts, transfer of funds, and formal deal announcements.
